The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1414: Soul Poison

Chapter 1414: Soul Poison Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, Ye Chen felt a sharp pain on his forehead, and a black light emanated from the Demonic Eye.

An ancient and cold voice slowly said, “You woke me up to help this kid, right?”

“He’s useful to me, so I naturally won’t let anything happen to him.”

“Also, kid, the recovery power of a demon far surpasses everything else!”

“Rather than cultivating these four Daos of yours, it’s better to cultivate the Demonic Dao!”

As soon as the voice finished speaking, endless demonic energy surged out from his forehead and enveloped his body.

Ye Chen was surprised to find that his injuries were recovering rapidly. Moreover this demonic energy was completely different from ordinary demonic energy, and was actually closer to origin qi!

He was also familiar with the voice that had spoken, as it was the same expert that dwelled within his Demonic Eye. Even though he did not know the exact origins of this expert, every time he took action, something world-shaking would happen.

Ye Chen’s eyes widened as he looked at the black stone.

This black stone could actually communicate with his four Daos and the Demonic Eye by itself. He could even sense a tinge of fear from the expert within the Demonic Eye toward the black stone.

After an unknown period of time, the light from the black stone gradually disappeared, and it floated back down into Ye Chen’s palm, turning dormant once more.

Ye Chen suppressed the shock in his heart as he examined his previous battered body. He had actually recovered to his original state!

There was even a trace of that special origin qi!

“It looks like I underestimated the black stone.”

“The black stone is getting stronger and stronger, but at the same time, it makes me feel powerless.”

“The old man I met as I entered the Lingwu Continent said that the Blood Spirit Clan is not my ultimate enemy, and that a greater force exists, so much so that even Venerable Immortal Ling Yun is like an ant to them…”

“However, since the black stone has chosen me, no matter what kind of existence I face, I will have to defeat them all!”

Ye Chen did not think too much about it. While the origin qi in his body was still there, he tried to stabilize it.

During the battle earlier, he had consumed a tremendous amount of energy within his body.

Almost half of the Primordial Chaos-grade artifact’s remaining power had been consumed, and the medicinal effects of the medicinal pills he had taken before had also completely dissolved.

Thus, he advanced to the seventh level of the Semi Divine realm. That being said, he needed to find time to kill some demonic beasts to improve his physical body. As his physical body could not withstand the attacks of a late-stage Divine King realm expert yet, he would not be able to last very long in a close-combat fight.

Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a surge of information flow through his body. He examined it and a smile appeared on his face.

“Spatial Slash!”

“This can be considered a considerable harvest from this battle with the Soul Race!”

Ye Chen’s breakthrough to the Semi Divine realm had been done using a Primordial Chaos-grade artifact, so it contained traces of spatial laws.

Now that the Primordial Chaos-grade artifact’s power had been exhausted, the power of the spatial laws had naturally appeared in Ye Chen’s body. Although it was not as powerful as the power of spatial laws wielded by an actual Primordial Chaos realm expert, it was still very powerful, and enough to deal with most Semi Divine and Divine King realm enemies.

The traces of these spatial laws condensed into a move called the Spatial Slash. It was a horizontal slash attack that was imbued with the power of spatial laws!

“Not bad, not bad!”

“Now that I’ve recovered, it’s time to check on Ji Lin.”

Incidentally, the other nine sacrificial children had already been taken away by the people from the Myriad Swords Palace, so they were likely fine.

Ye Chen was truly worried about Ji Lin.

That was because when Ye Chen had scanned the group of ten with his spiritual sense earlier, he had discovered that Ji Lin’s injuries were the most severe among the ten, and also the strangest!

Ye Chen used his divine soul to enter the Samsara Graveyard and found Ji Lin unconscious. He was slightly puzzled. He tried to use his medical skills or spiritual sense to investigate, but was injured by the backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood!

“Impossible!”

“Why is there an unknown power in her body?”

“Something’s wrong. Could she have been poisoned?”

“However, what kind of poison can injure me?”

Ye Chen thought about it, but could not figure out the problem.

He was only probing, but he was actually injured. If she was really poisoned, then Ji Lin would likely die!

“Disciple!”

“This isn’t an ordinary poison. It’s Soul poison!”

Lan Xueyue suddenly appeared beside Ye Chen. He glanced at Ji Lin and frowned. He recalled, “Back then, at the border between the western and northern regions of the Lingwu Continent was the Hall of Souls.”

“The Hall of Souls are skilled in using soul poison!”

“If I’m not mistaken, this little girl has a unique soul poison in her body!”

“I’ve investigated it before and discovered that the Soul Race’s altar requires living people as sacrifices. At the same time, it also requires a unique soul poison in the bodies of one of the sacrifices. This soul poison will resonate with the sacrificial altar!”

“Master, how do I remove it?” Ye Chen asked anxiously.

Lan Xueyue fell into deep thought and did not reply for a long time.

Furthermore, although the three Golden Buddhas cultivated the Buddhist Dao, they could only remove the poison from the body and not the soul. They were also helpless!

“In this current situation, we can’t detoxify her,” Lan Xueyue said after a long time.

“Why?”

“Soul poison is not a poison without a source!” He looked at Ye Chen and explained, “It’s like a river, and comes from the source. Soul poison also has a source. Do you think you can stop a river of water?”

“Even if you can block the river temporarily, there will be an endless stream of water piling up as time passes. In the end, it will overwhelm whatever barrier you put in front of you.”

“This is the case for this soul poison. It’s a poison containing a portion of the soul of an ancestor of the Soul Race. It can continuously receive the soul power of that ancestor no matter where it is to replenish its strength and potency.”

“The only way to get rid of the poison is to kill that ancestor!” Lan Xueyue Venerable sighed. “The other way is for that ancestor to remove the poison on his own. Alternatively, if we have a stalk of the Ancient Soul Dragon Herb, we can completely evolve and sublimate her soul, cutting off the poison from the root!”

After hearing his master’s words, Ye Chen finally understood what he had to do. However, killing that ancestor of the Soul Race was out of the question at this point in time.

His body had just recovered and he was only a Semi Divine realm cultivator. He was no match for that ancestor.

Suddenly, a grayish-yellow light flashed and emerged from Ji Lin’s body.

“This is…” Ye Chen suddenly had an ominous feeling.

The grayish-yellow light seemed to have a mind of its own as it gradually hovered above Ji Lin’s head. It then fused with the special power in Ji Lin’s body and gradually formed a soul dragon that was thousands of feet long!

The soul dragon seemed to be conscious. In the blink of an eye, it looked around it at the world inside the Samsara Graveyard. It looked ecstatic as it said, “You actually have a strange treasure that contains a world!”
